The Depth of Field lesson requires that two pictures be turned in, so it is advisable that if you haven't learned time management yet, that you do so very, very quickly. The lesson is all about focus, it is the same picture twice, with the only different between them is the background is in focus in one, and the foreground is in focus in the other.
Since this lesson doens't require that you take pictures of any specific object, you are allowed to open up a little and take pictures of different things. One piece of advice however, don't take pictures of moving objects that you can't control. Because by the time you get the picture of the foreground in focus, and adjust the focus, there's a good chance the object has already moved. Feel free to take pictures of people or objects you can move about though, a good idea might be to have one person stand in front of another, moved slightly to the right or left, then focus on each of their faces.
I remember this was one of my least favorite lessons, but I had an idea that I used many times later. I took a picture with a playground in the background, and a corner of a brick wall in the foreground. With the brick wall in focus, it seemed almost like it was keeping you from going to the playground, which created a good effect.Give this your best "shot"!
